INFORMED CONSENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
The Department of Parks and Recreation provides a wide variety of activities and programs for persons of all ages in a safe and
pleasant environment. However, there are certain inherent risks in almost every activity. Please read the following informed
consent categories to acquaint yourself with the risks involved. If you are making a determination that you child is able to
participate in any activity, it is your responsibility to assess your child's maturity, health/fitness and ability to obey safety rules and
decide if the risks associated with these activities are acceptable to you. While the County of Hawaii hopes that every participant
enjoys an injury -free activity, by your signing this Release of Claims form, you assume all risks associated with the activity for
which you have registered your child. Please ask any questions of the instructor which you may need to make a fully informed
decision for your child to participate.
Certain sport activities, such as football, basketball, baseball and volleyball may have physical contact. All contact sports
necessarily and unavoidably carry with them the risk of high speed collisions with other persons, balls, and equipment. In addition,
irregular playing surfaces may be present and a child may be at risk for falling or minor lacerations. There are, therefore, risks of
orthopedic, dental, cervical, spinal, head or other types of injury. There is also the risk of lacerations and other injury from
falling and/or colliding with people or objects.
In addition, all sports require a level of fitness and health that only your physician can determine you or your child possesses. We
strongly urge that you obtain medical advice as to whether contact sport activities are suitable for your child. Many
undetected or chronic diseases such as cardiac disease or high blood pressure may be worsened by participation in these
activities.
Activities such as ceramics, painting, or cooking are examples of types of activities which may involve supplies or ingredients
which may be toxic when ingested, inhaled or when coming in contact with skin. There may also be allergic reactions or
individual sensitivity to these supplies or ingredients when ingested, inhaled, or when in contact with skin.
Swimming at the beach or pool is another activity with inherent risks involved.
RELEASE OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNIFICATION
In consideration of permission granted to participant by the County of Hawaii, Department of Parks and Recreation, to participate
in the activities listed on the previous page:
I/we hereby release the County of Hawaii, its agents, employees, and independent contractors from all actions, causes of action,
damages, claims, or demands which I, my heirs, personal representatives, or assignees may have against the County of Hawaii,
and other above-named parties for all injuries, known or unknown, which may incur by my child's participation in the above-
described activity or by my child's use of the above-described Facility.
I/we do further agree that I shall indemnify and save harmless the County of Hawaii, or any of its officers or employees, either
jointly or severally, from any and all claims, demands, damages, loss of service, or expense for property damage and for personal
injuries or actions brought by a third party resulting or arising from my child's participation in the above-described activity or my
child's use of the Facility.
PARTICIPANT'S & PARENT'S CODE OF CONDUCT
1. I will encourage, but not force, my child to participate in any program or event.
2. I will remember that children participate to have fun, and that the program/event is for youth, not adults.
3. I will pay close attention to the physical conditioning and well-being of my child, and will refuse to jeopardize the health of
any individual for the sake of improving a person's or team's chance to win.
4. I will not ridicule or yell at my child or any other participant for making a mistake or losing.
5. I (& guests) will be positive role models for my child, and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and
by demonstrating positive support for all staff, players, coaches, officials, and spectators at every game, practice,
tournament, or event.
6. I will respect officials and their decisions. I will not argue with an official in public, and will not yell, swear or be verbally
abusive. Any discussion or constructive comment shall be done in an unemotional and calm manner.
7. I will not engage in any physical or verbal confrontation or altercation before, during or after any program, game or event,
with officials, coaches, players, staff, or spectators. Doing so shall result in immediate action by the police and the
Director of the Department of Parks & Recreation.
8. All P&R Activities are drug and alcohol free for participants and adults. Anyone found to be under the influence,
intoxicated, or in possession of any of these will be TERMINATED from participating in the program. The Police and the

Conduct on this page 2.
